Elon Musk said a Tesla 'dog mode' is rolling out this week, and it might stop pooches from overheating in cars

This week Tesla cars will receive an update, which includes a “dog mode.”

A fan tweeted at Elon Musk in October asking for a dog mode which keeps the AC on and plays music.

Musk said on Thursday that the update will be rolling out this week along with a new security feature “safety mode,” which blasts classical music if the car detects it’s being broken into.

Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla will be rolling out an update this week called “dog mode.”

Musk received a request for a dog mode in October 2018 via Twitter. Specifically, the original tweet request asked that the mode plays music, turns on the air conditioning and displays a message on the car’s display screen saying “I’m fine my owner will be right back.”
